Xa sifunda indinyana ethile eBhayibhileni, ngokuqhelekileyo kubakho amathandabuzo.Athini amagama kaThixo nentsingiselo yawo?, ekubeni ngokudibana nabo, siya kuziva sisondele ngakumbi kuye; Yiyo loo nto namhlanje apha, siza kukuxelela ukuba ziyintoni kwaye zithetha ukuthini.
UThixo eBhayibhileni
Phambi kokuba siqale ukuthetha ngamagama kaThixo nentsingiselo yawo; singathanda ukucebisa eli nqaku limangalisayo apho a umthandazo wokuzukisa igama likaThixo; Ngokuqinisekileyo kuya kukunceda uqhagamshelane nenkosi yethu.
Ukususela kwixesha lendalo, uThixo uye wazityhila kuthi ngeendlela ezininzi, njengoko uye wazama ukusibonisa ubume bakhe. UThixo wethu akafihli kuthi; enyanisweni, ubesoloko ezibhenca eluntwini ngemisebenzi yakhe nangamazwi akhe.
Amagama kaThixo, iimpawu zakhe okanye izikhombisi zobukho bakhe zaziswa kuthi eBhayibhileni ukusuka kwivesi yokuqala; ezi zisenza sazi nzulu ubume bukaThixo, nokuba liyintoni na icebo lakhe ngathi.
Kubalulekile ukukhumbula ukuba ngamaxesha ebhayibhile, igama laliyinto ebaluleke kakhulu; eneneni, igama elaliza kuthiywa abantwana lalicamngca nzulu; oku kwakunjalo, kuba igama laligqalwa njengelibonakalisa ubume, isimilo okanye urhwebo lomntu.
Ngesi sizathu sinye, xa uThixo wabiza uMoses ukuba akhulule amaHebhere ebukhobokeni; wazingisa ukuba uThixo amxelele amakambize. UMoses wayefuna ukuqiniseka ukuba uyababonisa abantu bakwaSirayeli “ukuzukiswa” kwakhe.
- Kambe ke uMosis waphinda wathi: “Ukuba ndikhe ndema phambi kwamaSirayeli, ndathi: 'UThixo wooyihlo undithumile kuni.' Ndiphendule ndithini xa bendibuza: "Kwaye ngubani igama lakhe?" NDINGUYE ENDINGUYE, wamphendula uThixouMoses. Uze uthi koonyana bakaSirayeli: UNDINGUYE undithumile kuni. Ngaphezu koko, uThixo wathi kuMoses: “Yithi koonyana bakaSirayeli: “UYehova, uThixo wooyihlo, uThixo ka-Abraham, kaIsake, kaYakobi, undithumile kuni; Lilo elo igama lam lanaphakade; lilo elo igama lam kwizizukulwana ngezizukulwana. ( Eksodus 3:13-15 )
Njengoko sinokuqonda, kweli bali uThixo unikelwe kuMoses ‘njengoYHWH’; igama eliqondwa ngokuthi “NKOSI; NDINGUYE NDINGUYE". Kunokuthiwa ke ngoko, eli ligama likaThixo; kuba njengoko watshoyo ngokwakhe “eli ligama lam elingunaphakade; lilo elo igama lam kwizizukulwana ngezizukulwana.
Kodwa, eBhayibhileni siza kufumanisa ukuba kwizihlandlo ezininzi, uThixo xa wayezibonakalisa, wagxininisa enye yeempawu zakhe; Wayefuna ukuba ngegama lakhe, injongo yakhe yokusenza sibe nentembelo noxolo yaziwe. Sinomzekelo obalaseleyo woku kwiEksodus 6 , xa uThixo eqinisekisa idinga lakhe kuMoses; UThixo ukhankanya ukuba xa wayevela phambi kuka-Abraham, uIsake noYakobi, wakwenza oko njengo“El Shaddai”, gama elo elithetha “uThixo uSomandla”.
- ndinguYehova. Ndabonakala kuAbraham, uIsake noYakobi phantsi kwegama likaThixo uSomandla, kodwa andizange ndiveze igama lam lokwenene, elinguYEHOVA. ( Eksodus 6:2-3 )
Ngokungathandabuzekiyo, uThixo mkhulu, yaye akukho gama okanye ulwimi ehlabathini lonke olunokubuchaza ngokupheleleyo; kodwa, sinako ukuyazi ngakumbi kancinci ukuba sifunda amagama ayo kunye neempawu ukuba zityhila. Ukwenza oku, apha siza kuveza amanye amagama kaThixo eBhayibhileni kunye nentsingiselo yawo; ngokunjalo nokubaluleka kwezi zinto kubomi bethu.
Amagama aphambili kaThixo kunye nentsingiselo yawo
Ngokuqinisekileyo, uThixo wabonakala phambi kwethu esebenzisa amagama ahlukeneyo aneentsingiselo ezahlukeneyo; kodwa, xa ufunda ibhayibhile unokuqaphela ukuba awona magama axhaphakileyo ibingu "Elohim", kunye nalawo akhankanywe ngaphambili "YHWH"; Masizijonge nzulu ngakumbi.
Elohim
"Yena" uqondwa ngokweetymologically ngokuthi "amandla"; EBhayibhileni, izihlandlo ezininzi sifumana igama elithi “El” nezinye ezininzi eziqala ngale ngcambu. Oku kwakubangelwa kukuba igama elithi “El” lalilelona lisetyenziswa kuMbindi Mpuma ukubhekisela kuthixo.
Eyona ndlela isebenzayo yokwahlula ubuThixo ekuthethwa ngaye kukusebenzisa ingcambu ethi “El” kunye namanye amagama. Umzekelo woku ubonwa kwiGenesis 33:20 , xa uYakobi wamakhela uThixo isibingelelo waza wasithiya “.El-'Elohê-Israel”; Sinokuliqonda eli binzana ngokuthi “uThixo, uThixo kaSirayeli” okanye “Unamandla uThixo kaSirayeli”; Ngale ndlela, kwakunokwenzeka ukwaziwa ngembeko ukuba ngubani na owamiselwa isibingelelo, “uThixo kaSirayeli, uThixo oligorha.”
Ngokukwanjalo, ingcambu ethi “El” inxulumene nezinye iimpawu, ezinjengokugcina ingqibelelo ( Numeri 23:19 ), inzondelelo ( Duteronomi 5:9 ) nemfesane ( Nehemiya 9:31 ); kodwa, intsingiselo "yamandla" yile ithathwa njengengundoqo.
Igama elithi “Elohim” livela okokuqala eBhayibhileni kwiGenesis 1.1, kwaye lithetha “uThixo onguMdali”. Esi sisininzi sika "eloah"; xa lisetyenziswa, lithetha ingcamango yoThixo oneziqu ezithathu okanye uThixo oziqu zithathu; njengeentlobo ngeentlobo zeempawu anazo uMdali wethu noThixo uSomandla.
YHWH
Njengoko sele sikhankanyile, eli lelinye lawona magama aqhelekileyo agqalwa ngawo uThixo eBhayibhileni, yaye yena ngokwakhe uthetha ukuthi “NDINGUYE NDINGUYE, INKOSI”; Eli ligama uThixo awakhetha ukulichaza kuMoses yaye lisetyenziswa eBhayibhileni kuphela. Eli kuphela kwegama likaThixo elifanelekileyo, yaye kwiiBhayibhile zeSpanish liye laguqulelwa ngokuthi “Yehova” okanye “NKOSI” elibhalwe ngoonobumba abakhulu ukuze lihluke kwelithi “Adonai” elithetha “nkosi”.
Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, asiyazi eyona ndlela yokulibiza igama elithi “YHWH”, ekubeni ngenxa yentlonelo eli gama liye lagcinwa lingenazikhamiso; kananjalo, amaHebhere angqina ukuba oku kunjalo, kuba igama likaThixo lingcwele kakhulu ukuba lingathethwa. Kodwa, “YHWH” kuthetha ukuba uThixo ukho, ufikeleleka yaye usondele kubo bonke abo bamcelayo ukuba abe kufuphi kuye; kunye nokuhlangulwa kwakhe, uxolelo kunye nesikhokelo.
Kwakukwincwadi yesibini yeGenesis, xa igama elithi “YHWH” lanikelwa kuthi okokuqala; Masibone:
- Eli libali lokudalwa kwamazulu nomhlaba. Xa uYehova uThixo wenza umhlaba nezulu… (Genesis 2:4)
Kwesi sicatshulwa, kunokubonwa ukuba u-“YHWH” no-“Elohim” abekwe kunye; Kusenokwenzeka ukuba oku kwabhalwa ngolu hlobo, ukuze kugxininiswe ubukho bakhe ngexesha lokudala nokubonisa ukuba “uYHWH” ngokwenene ligama loMdali woMdali.
Amanye amagama kaThixo nentsingiselo yawo
La magama akhankanywe ngasentla ngawona magama asetyenziswa eBhayibhileni ukubiza uThixo; kodwa, koku kwakhona siza kufumana amanye amagama amaninzi athe uThixo iNkosi yethu wabhekiswa kuwo; nto leyo esinika ithuba lokwazi ngcono ubume bayo, kwaye ngale ndlela sisondela kuyo. Makhe sijonge amanye aloo magama kunye nentsingiselo yawo.
Adonayi
Njengoko besesitshilo kwicandelo elingaphambili, amaHebhere ayegqala igama elithi “YHWH” lingcwele kakhulu ukuba lingabizwa, ngoko aqalisa ukusebenzisa igama elithi “Adonai” endaweni yoko; oku kuqondwa ngokuthi "inkosi" okanye "inkosi" kwaye yena ngokwakhe usetyenziselwa ukuhambisa ingcamango "uThixo njengeNkosi neNkosi, umnini wayo yonke into".
Ngeli gama eBhayibhileni umntu uthetha ngokubini ngoThixo njengegunya, nangesikhundla akuso ngokuphathelele abantu bakhe; kuba inguye lowo unegunya lokuvuza abo bamvayo nokubohlwaya abo bangamthobeliyo.
- Waqubuda emhlabeni uMoses, wathandaza kuYehova, esithi, Nkosi, ukuba ndibabalwe nguwe, yiza uhlale phakathi kwethu. Ndiyazi ukuba ngabantu abaneenkani aba, kodwa sixolele ubugwenxa bethu nesono sethu, usithabathe njengelifa lakho. Yabonani, umnqophiso endiwenzayo nani, waphendula uYehova. ndiya kwenza imisebenzi ebalulekileyo, engazanga idalwe phambi kwezizwe zonke zehlabathi; Abantu ohleli phakathi kwabo bobona imisebenzi eyoyikekayo, endiya kuyenza kuwe, Yehova. ( Eksodus 34:8-10 )
Abba
Kule meko, igama elithi "Abba" liqondwa njengoyise okanye utata; yena ngokwakhe ubonakalisa uthando lukayise uThixo analo kubantu bakhe. UThixo akasidalanga nje kuphela, kodwa ukwafuna ukuseka ubuhlobo obusondeleyo nomntu ngamnye wethu; ngendlela efanayo naleyo uyiseka ngayo ubuhlobo nonyana wakhe.
Njengoko sibonisiwe kweyoku- 1 kaYohane 4:8 , uThixo uluthando yaye usiphatha ngolu hlobo sonke ngothando nangemfesane. Wasidala ke uThixo, ehamba nathi ngamaxesha onke, Enyamekela iintswelo zabantwana bakhe bonke; masizinike ixesha lokuva uthando lukayise siphinde silubuyisele.

- Bonani uthando olungaka asenzele lona uYise, olu lokuba sibizwe ngokuba singabantwana bakaThixo. Kwaye sinjalo! ( 1 Yohane 3:1a )

Njengoko sele sibonile, uThixo ubizwa ngamagama ahlukahlukeneyo aneentsingiselo ezahlukahlukeneyo; kodwa, elona liphambili lijika libe ngu "YHWH", ngoko ke akufanele kumangalise ukuba lisetyenziswe kunye namanye amagama. Kule meko, igama elithi “YHWH-Rafa” liqondwa ngokuthi “uYehova ophilisayo” okanye “uYehova umphilisi wakho.”
UThixo ubanqwenelela okuhle abantwana bakhe bonke, ufuna ukuba impilo-ntle nempilo inabele kuzo zonke iinkalo zobomi bethu; UYEHOVA ungumphilisi, yaye amandla akhe afikelela kokubini emoyeni, emphefumlweni nasemizimbeni yethu. UThixo ufuna siphilise izifo zomphefumlo nezomzimba; ngenxa yoku, ukuphilisa luphawu olubalulekileyo kuye.

YHWH-Shalom
UThixo akalothando nempilo kuphela, ukwanguxolo; Uxolo alunika bonke abantwana bakhe ngokulinganayo, kwaye le yintsingiselo yeli gama elithi "uYehova uxolo". Kubantu abaninzi, uxolo uThixo asinika lona alunangqiqo, ekubeni uxolo aluvakalisa kuthi alusekelwanga kwiimeko okanye kukungabikho kweemfazwe; enyanisweni, uxolo lukaThixo lusekelwe kwintembelo emfamekileyo ahlala ekunye nathi; oko kusigcwalisa ngokupheleleyo.

- Ndishiya uxolo kuni; Ndikunika uxolo lwam. Andininiki njengokunika kwehlabathi. Musa ukuxhalaba okanye ukoyika. ( Yohane 14:27 )
YHWH-Rohi
Xa siqhubeka nokwahluka kwegama elithi “YHWH” nentsingiselo yalo, sifumana elithi “YHWH-Rohi”, elithetha ukuthi “UYEHOVA ngumalusi wam”; into emele ichazwe eBhayibhileni ngeli gama kukuba uThixo ungumalusi onyamekela imvu yakhe nganye aze azikhokele kumendo wobomi.
UThixo usoloko ethe qwa, ekulungele ngamaxesha onke ukubakhusela abantwana bakhe kutshaba olusoloko lukhangela iindlela zokusihlasela luze lusibe emhlambini wakhe; ewe, uYehova ngumalusi obalaseleyo, owunyamekelayo wonke umhlambi wakhe.

UThixo unamagama awahlukahlukeneyo, kodwa intsingiselo yawo iya kusoloko ibhekisela kubukhulu bakhe; njengakule meko, apho elithi “YHWH-Sabaoth” lithetha “uYehova wemikhosi” nangona kwezinye iimeko, eli gama liguqulelwa ngokuthi “uYehova wemikhosi”.
INkosi yethu inamandla onke, ingumlawuli wemikhosi yezulu, nehlabathi, nehlabathi liphela; UThixo uyalela imikhosi esiyibonayo naleyo singayiboniyo. Eli gama liyimbonakaliso ecacileyo yobungangamsha bakhe obukhulu, igunya namandla; Ngokukwanjalo, kusenza sizive siqinisekile ukuba ngenene sikwezona zandla zilungileyo.
